Hello, The rod is built on a Batson Blank. They are a very good company and have great products with a good reputation. Also, there is another know company that builds there switch rods on this blank aswell.

The switch rod came about because of demand from customers. I did not have plans to have a switch rod, but the opportunity came about and so I delivered. It allows me to provide a great product at a price point people are looking for.

The word "built" is use correctly or even the word "assembled" would be another good use of words. Since some compaines do not publicly display where there products come from unless asked. I would not be able to say "US Made" meaning everything or atleast 80% of the raw materials were manufactured here.

My rod builder does great work with great quality. The US built term lets the buyer be aware that the workmanship will be of quality. He provides the components then "builds" the rod.

Now, I am in the middle of a rod design that has been being prototyped for close to 10 months so far taking weight out of it with each prototype. I will release more details on this project when the time is right.
